As LACMA wraps up its terrific The Apocalyptic Cinema of Andrei Tarkovsky film series (which I covered earlier) you may be asking yourself, how else can I immerse myself in the life and work of this Russian cinematic master? Well, comrade, the film gods have smiled upon you today.
Moscow-born and Los Angeles-bred filmmaker Dmitri Trakovsky has arranged for a pair of additional screenings for both this weekend and next of his documentary Meeting Andrei Tarkovsky (see the schedule for exact times and locations), which explores Tarkovsky’s enigmatic declaration that death doesn’t exist.
Yes, you read that right: Death. Doesn’t. Exist.
Chew on that during Super Bowl halftime.

“Chew on that during Super Bowl halftime”. That is the funniest thing anybody has ever written about this film. Thank you.
Whoa, that relaxing your eyes for 3d thing really does work. Neat!
Could we be the first LA-based community blog to venture into 3D territory? Are we now, officially, technological trailblazers?
Amazing. And it’s all thanks to Tarkovsky…
